Time for my first-day-of-the-month routine

Its time for my monthly routine — walking around the house, turning all of the calendars to the next month.

When we change our clocks, I adjust all the clocks in the house, first thing, before I do anything else. Same with calendars.

Every now and then, I’ll forget to turn a calendar over. Some rooms I forget about for months. Then I walk into the room in November, and the calendar says it’s still July. That’s such a strange feeling, especially when the picture on the calendar is a completely different season than what I can see through the window.

It’s a nice way to start the day / month. A quiet kind of welcome in a quiet house, before everything gets “exciting”.

And now… off I go to get my daily dose of excitement at the office. It’s not so bad. But I’d rather have the quiet.
